Anduril Secures Landmark Air Force Drone Contract
Anduril just won a production contract for autonomous fighters with the US Air Force. It’s also secured a key role in the race to provide software for those aircraft, and is moving toward scaled manufacturing as the Pentagon pushes for a fleet of up to 1,000 autonomous combat jets. Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf joins Ed…

Will ETH 2x? 3x? Maybe. But add two more 00 to that for SPCX47P having 200x or better

Ooh building an Arsenal 2 or 3 in Taiwan would be interesting
@mjk9388
June 18, 2026 at 3:51 pm
I agree that Arsenal 2/3 being built in Taiwan would be interesting. I figured out that for roughly $9.8 billion (about half of ONE Trump-class nuclear-powered battleship), the United States and its partners could acquire approximately 1,875 fully stocked 20-foot ISO container launchers carrying a total of 30,000 anti-ship cruise missiles. This mix of missiles would include roughly 21,000 low-cost Anduril Barracuda-500 missiles, 7,500 medium-payload containerized cruise missiles, and 1,500 LRASM anti-ship missiles, all designed or adaptable for launch from standard cargo containers. At this production scale, reliable cost efficiencies would bring the blended all-in price per missile well below current single-missile programs while providing the lethality needed to reliably sink or disable the entire Chinese Navy. These systems would be pre-positioned and rapidly distributed and hidden across the 1000+ numerous small islands, islets, and outposts in the first island chain controlled by Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines. From these dispersed locations, all of the missiles would be well within range to strike Chinese warships operating in the waters surrounding those nations.
If the $9.8 billion total cost were shared proportionally according to each nation’s current defense spending, the breakdown would be approximately:
United States: $8.99 billion (91.7%). For comparison, the US is spending ~$20–35 billion on increased defense spending right now, which would be reliably attributed to Pacific defense.
Japan: $588 million (6.0%)
Taiwan: $167 million (1.7%)
Philippines: $59 million (0.6%)
I think this approach would deliver a resilient, high-volume, and highly survivable anti-ship capability that would be far more difficult and costly for an adversary to neutralize than a single large surface combatant. And, if the Chinese finally understood that peace is WAY more profitable than war, the US could always reposition its containers elsewhere on the world and/or put them on manned and unmanned ships and/or give to land units of the army and marines.

Taipei 101 costs about 2 B2 bombers; the amount of metal used for the building could build a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. A mini Arsenal factory is probably cheaper and less complex than a TSMC fab

The irony here is hard to miss. The speaker repeatedly talks about Russia as an adversary threatening U.S. interests, expanding weapons production to deter adversaries, and strengthening allies against hostile nations. Yet the current administration is often accused by its critics of maintaining unusually friendly relations with Russia and North Korea, two governments that are among the most authoritarian and militarized on Earth.
If Russia is truly such a major threat that it justifies massive increases in weapons production, expanded military alliances, and urgent defense programs, then it seems contradictory to simultaneously portray closer relations with Moscow as a positive development. The same applies to North Korea. The talking points assume Russia and its partners are dangerous adversaries requiring deterrence, while political rhetoric elsewhere sometimes treats them as potential friends. Both positions cannot be fully true at the same time.

Big difference
@nixter1nixter1
June 18, 2026 at 11:58 pm
@ryanwalters6184 It is a mistake to assume that anti-Western and anti-American attitudes in Russia exist only because of Putin. Decades of polling have often shown substantial portions of the Russian public holding negative views of the United States and NATO, especially during periods of tension. Putin did not create all of these sentiments from nothing, in many cases, he has reflected, reinforced, and politically benefited from attitudes that already existed within parts of Russian society.
That means the problem cannot be reduced to a single individual. If Putin were gone tomorrow, many of the historical grievances, nationalist beliefs, and suspicions of the West would still remain. Understanding Russia requires looking beyond one leader and recognizing that some of these attitudes are rooted in broader social and cultural trends.

“Pacifists would do well to study the Siegfried and Maginot Lines, remembering that these defenses were forced; that Troy fell; that the walls of Hadrian succumbed; that the Great Wall of China was futile; and that, by the same token, the mighty seas which are alleged to defend us can also be circumvented by a resolute and ingenious opponent. In war, the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.”

9/11 proved the General to be correct.

Anduril should be the main military contractor in the US. No cost+ contracts where you pay the company for producing nothing. Anduril has already footed the bill on the R&D and come to market with a mature product ready to go right now. This kicks the shit out of the establish grifting military contractors like lockheed and boeing. General Dynamics has shown they can deliver aircraft on time and within budget so they get some leeway. But if they make millions while saving the taxpayer billions I’m all about that. The military industrial complex has swelled beyond morbid obesity and the average citizen pays the price.
